light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is

into several categories:
•
Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of message
takes control of the main display area for five seconds and
then returns to the previous screen. Most of the messages of
this type are then stored (as long as the condition that
activated it remains active) and can be reviewed from the

condition that activated the message is cleared. Examples
of this message type are “Turn Signal On” (if a turn signal
is left on) and “Lights On” (if driver leaves the vehicle).
• Unstored Messages Until RUN
These messages deal primarily with the Remote Start
feature. This message type is displayed until the ignition
is in the RUN state. Examples of this message type are
“Remote Start Aborted - Door Ajar” and “Press Brake
Pedal and Push Button to Start.”
• Five Second Unstored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. An

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will display for approximately 10 seconds after a single
chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator system

interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal
driving style.
